Blue is banked in the churning stem and clears as the water goes up, so the canopy is almost colourless. A marble block and a tall plinth are supplied beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater Held at Its Widest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater breaking outward is difficult to hold up, because the moment it is most worth looking at is the moment it has the least underneath it. The canopy reaches wider than the stone beneath it, which is why the piece looks caught in the act rather than settled. Every droplet in the canopy is carried on something thinner than itself, and the body has to hold all of them at once. Polished everywhere, including between droplets where nothing will ever reach again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, an atrium or the end of a gallery, where the canopy can be seen from underneath. It needs something dark behind it. On a white wall the canopy turns into a grey cloud and the droplets stop counting. Light from below throws the whole canopy into relief; from above it closes up. The stem reads as a dark line from the door and the canopy resolves into separate droplets at two paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Canopy, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. The canopy is opened wider, the blue is carried further up, and a single plinth replaces the pair. Open the canopy wider and the stem has to be thickened, because everything overhanging is carried on it. One pallet, three parts: the plinth is set down and levelled, the block follows, and the casting comes last with the canopy boxed clear. Two people, hands on the stem and never in the canopy. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater breaking into a canopy of droplets belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the clear and blue casting joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more for the end of a gallery is in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54.1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with Blue on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104276205915,"sku":"Z355","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z355.jpg?v=1790772288","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-blue-rising-water-canopy-resin-sculpture-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
